Locking mechanism for locking a floating platform loaded with a machine onto a base, shock absorbing device with locking mechanism, and method thereof

A shock absorbing device loaded with a machine, the shock absorbing device comprising:

• a floating platform loaded with the machine;
• a base spaced from the floating platform;
• a plurality of resilient components disposed between the floating platform and the base;
• and
• at least three locking mechanisms, a gravity center of the floating platform and the machine being located within a field enclosed by the at least three locking mechanisms, each of the at least three locking mechanisms comprising:
• a first fixing component fixed onto the floating platform;
• a second fixing component fixed onto the base and located at a position corresponding to the first fixing component;
• and
• a third fixing component passing through the second fixing component to engage with the first fixing component for locking the floating platform onto a side of the base;
• wherein the first fixing component is a nut component, the second fixing component is a sleeve component, the third fixing component is a bolt component, the first fixing component is fixed onto the floating platform, the second fixing component is fixed onto the base and located at the position corresponding to the first fixing component, and the third fixing component passes through the second fixing component to screw with the first fixing component for locking the floating platform onto the side of the base.

A method of utilizing at least three locking mechanisms for locking a floating platform loaded with a machine, the method comprising:

• fixing first fixing components of the at least three locking mechanisms onto the floating platform according to a gravity center of the floating platform and the machine, so as to locate the gravity center within a field enclosed by the first fixing components of the at least three locking mechanisms;
• fixing second fixing components of the at least three locking mechanisms onto a base and at positions corresponding to the corresponding first fixing components;
• and
• passing third fixing components of the at least three locking mechanisms through the corresponding second fixing components to screw with the corresponding first fixing components, so as to lock the floating platform onto a side of the base;
• wherein the first fixing component is a nut component, the second fixing component is a sleeve component, the third fixing component is a bolt component.
